Another New Fave

New Favorite Website: SeeClickFix.
http://www.seeclickfix.com/citizens

Absolute genius. Got a pothole in your neighborhood that swallows your car every time you go to work? Snap a pic with your phone, upload it to the site with a description of the where and what, and voila, the combination of public shame and a network of contacts in communities throughout the country will work to help get it resolved. Sure, not every community participates (yet), and no, there's no guarantee that every pothole or poorly-plowed snowy road will get fixed ASAP simple because it's reported here, but at least now there's SOMEWHERE you can turn!

Yeah, we have it here now too. Problem is that broke-ass California just doesn't have the money to actually fix anything that gets reported!

That may be true, but see my latest post. It just might be worth a shot... ;)
